IN THE ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY
(Bijoylakshmi Das, 25th Dec 2019)
Let breath become invisible and life come to a cease,
Life is a deathless merry-go-round
In an immortal release.
The morning rays cradle through clouds
In unseen moments of ease,
The Earth is enlivened with wonder and Nature's amazing surprise.
Blossoms open their eyes when the mortal slips into stupor,
All unspoken marvels vibrant in air
In the new uprising's uproar.
Trees laden with timeless treasures
Ever bow down to Earth in glee,
The choicest delicacies for man are offered:
The most magnificent gifts from the magnanimous tree.
The babbling bubbles of water in the brooks
To meet the vast Kingdom of the Sea,
All turbulence in air rising high
Is meant to meet the highest Harmony.
The star-spangled lustre lisps lullaby
In the Moon-rapt rapture of the eve,
The Heaven looks down upon Earth
For Godhead's footprints to live.
Man fails to fathom into the humble heart
Of Creation full of Joy and pure Love,
The utmost care hidden in her inmost humility
With honest appeals to rise above.
The far-fetched Zephyr brings celestial fragrance
From the distant woodland green,
The ether around is wrapped in elixir
To greet man as its nearest kin.
The Brown's mirth blooms at your feet
O Mortal! above your head is the canopy Blue,
The Supreme Felicity keeps open Her door
For you to explore the unrevealed mystery anew.
You are breath in air and air in breath
Come to the grand compromise,
The Creation is a surrealist Vast
You are Consciousness in awakening's rise.
No more limited in boundaries of space
You are limitless in Time's expanse free,
To rise above your petty Self
And to meet your choicest Destiny.
You are the Seer of Enlightenment,
Vast, profound in the robe of man,.
You are the Son of the Supreme Choice
Always united with the One.
Awake, arise to meet the immaculate Vast
Hidden in your Self in disguise,
Your body is a mask for Eternity to everlast
In your wider awakening's rise.
